THE DOW LAW.

mass Of good citizens approve OF the Law
and of its enforcement, and many desirs
that the provisions OF the law should b
made more comprehensive.
From figures published by the attorns,
general of Ohio. and already published II

the provisions Of the Dow law have born,
this good fruit:
l. Two thousand and eighty-eight sa
looms have been closed BY the saloon ta,
provision.
ii. Five hundred and seventeen saloon.
have been closed by town councils, most o.
them by vote Of the people.
Ill. Two hundred towns In the state hav'
adopted local option and suppressed thu
liquor traffic. TO . greater or less extent
and the number OF towns taking this stanC
Il increasing. Delaware Is the largest cit,
1t has about 5000 people-which ha.
passed an ordinance to suppress the "a
looms. and. as is always the case In cities
the traffic dies hard. An attempt has beer
made to evade the law BY the organization
and chartering Of social clubs. at the quar-
tiers Of which liquors are sold. but 1t Is moi
likely that such concerns can squeeze
through the provisions OF the law. II the,

Rachel would have liked to accompany

numerous progeny in her day and was not
at all inclined tb forego such an oppor-

His momentary kindness had filled her

Bismarck's Prompt Action.

BERLIN, February PA great sensa-
ton and disagreeable surprise has been
caused by the summoning of the new
Reichstag for the Sd of March, before the
undecided elections are settled by sec
ond ballot A formal Liberal protest will
probably be made against this proceeding
as contrary to the Constitution.
The apprehension seems to spread
among the National Liberals that Bis
marck will make more demands upon
them in the way of taX-measures than
they will be able to yield.
The party supporting the septennate
will control about 210 members, or good
many more than a majority in the Reich
stag. According to the latest returns the
German Liberals have elected only ten
members and have definitely lost twenty
seven constituencies.
They will, moreover, have to undergo
second ballots in twenty-one cases. The
Center and Guelphs lost altogether ten
members, the Socialists eighteen, of which
they will probably recover nine on second
ballot The bourse is much duller and
depressed.

Narrowing Scenes-Hundreds Killed.
ROME, February 24.-The details of the
destruction wrought by yesterdays
earthquakes in Genoese Riviera, pre-
sent terrible picture. Over 800 people
were killed In the village of Bajardo
the inhabitants fled to a church which
fell on them, and three hundred per
sons were killed. The destruction of
property is immense and widespread.
LONDON February 24.-Further dis
patches concerning the earthquakes in
Southern Europe state that, although
there have been no further shocks at
Nice, the panic has not subsided. Fugi-
tives are fleeing in every direction. The
people are afraid to re-enter their houses
and the hotels, and last evening the
heights back of the city were crowded
with refugees. Two thousand English,
American, and Russian visitors were
camped out during the night on elevated
ground Six thousand persons have left
the city and started for Paris A son of
Mr. Albert n. Hathaway, the American
Consul at Nice, was seriously injured.
There has been no further disturbances
at Monte Carlo. The place is'filled with
thousands of refugees from Cannes, Nice,
Mentone, and San Reno 1t is difficult
to find shelter for the great number Of
people, and last night many of them were
compelled to camp out. A more conf
dent feeling prevails to-day. Gaming has
been suspended and the band is playing
on the terrace for the purpose of restor-
ing confidence to the frightened people.
